Millions of Russians are also turning to the BBC, the broadcaster said. The BBC also provides news coverage in the country via its website, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Telegram, Viber and Espreso TV. Over the last week of February, viewership of BBC’s Ukrainian language site more than doubled from a year earlier to 3.9 million visitors, the broadcaster said on Wednesday. But more modern forms of radio along with the internet eventually pushed shortwave out of favor the BBC retired its shortwave transmissions in Europe 14 years ago. Shortwave radio has been a go-to vehicle to reach listeners in conflict zones for decades, used to deliver crackling dispatches to soldiers in the Persian Gulf war, send codes to spies in North Korea and pontificate through the Iron Curtain during the Cold War.
#BBC HOURLY NEWS AUDIO TV#
From the TV Times, in – astonishingly – 1980. If you think a feature called “A guide to your local newsgirl” sounds pretty awful, you haven’t read it yet.Good job she’s not the UK minister in charge of the media, isn’t it? Wait – she IS? HOW? BBC News 24 launched in 1997 Sky News launched in 1989 and CNN launched in 1980. Stupid Nadine Dorries watch: this week, she claimed that Tony Blair handed over to Gordon Brown in 2007, which was “pre-rolling 24 hour news”.That’s seen £3.3m distributed to more than 80 indie production companies, and output has been aired on more than 340 different radio stations. Another casualty in the government’s spat with public service funding is the Audio Content Fund.So, this week, I came up with a way of fully funding the BBC that doesn’t involve advertising, is fairer to everyone, doesn’t need to be paid by the elderly or unemployed, and maintains their level of funding.Newsround, if you don’t know, is the news service for children – one of those services that will be cut if the Conservative government have their way. Some good reporting, from the BBC, here – this BBC Newsround story about the Prime Minister’s parties.News consumption has changed, he said, but the style of radio news bulletins haven’t. In 2018, David Spencer spoke about radio news at Next Radio. But, I think that’s quite possible when I ran a hyper-local news website for a little while in the mid 2010s, I learnt that “historic pub to close” might be a bigger story for clicks, but “award-winning Turkish restaurant to move into the Coach and Horses” was a little more positive. Not sure how popular that was with the journalists. I gather Clive Dickens at Absolute Radio also tried to shape the news bulletins a little, asking for news that accentuated positive elements of stories. One of them – they all listened to the same radio station. And we wonder why Brexit was a thing.)Īt The Pulse, my programme director Steve Martin used to rabbit on about “the world of The Pulse” to the news team: urging them to remember who’s listening and what their shared interests are. He was from Romania – the only fact about the person that we learnt.
(Also, nice to hear, explicitly, that the man charged with double murder was a foreigner.
Apparently it’s the first gold medal that a British sliding-person has ever won in that competition. 55 seconds on the top story of blackmail 31 seconds on a sports-ball game (which if you cared about you’d be listening elsewhere anyway) and nothing particularly positive apart from the sliding-sport gold medal. Now, I’m not a radio journalist, but goodness, these stories are long. I’d also have a question about whether an hourly news bulletin are really required at 7pm on a Saturday night but I went to have a listen to Feb 22’s bulletin, which was: 0:03 Blackmailing MPs The bulletins seem overly wordy and formal – “here’s our Political Correspondent, Ian Watson” – and you can see that they may not help maintain a feeling of energy and positivity on-air. Radio 2’s news bulletins have always seemed to me like the land time forgot: they sound identical to the news bulletins I remember when, at the age of 6, I was driven to school listening to Terry Wogan. I’ve goaded Richard Horsman enough, I hope, into reheating his blog to make a response. We’re having a wet summer in Brisbane, but even so, I still sometimes get to see visitors in the trees, like this chirpy King Parrot. I’m mostly dealing without a home office at the moment as the painters and decorators are in.
